A 30-year-old man and his partner traveled across the country to visit her family for Christmas. Despite his recent serious back injury, they made the trip, but little did they know that their sleeping arrangements would cause a family meltdown. The man's partner's parents, who are very traditional, refused to let the unmarried couple sleep in the same room. This led to the man sleeping in the basement on an old, uncomfortable twin mattress, which aggravated his injury. After a sleepless, painful night, the couple decided to get a hotel room, but this decision didn't sit well with the mother, leading to an emotional confrontation.
